- Project Scruf.
-
- What.
-
-This is a "just for fun" project aiming at converting plain text
-documents to html web pages. We are are focusing on producing
-fundamental and simple web-pages which are clean, yet simple, we will
-be using CSS to ease down on the design and the format of the web-pages
-that are produced by the program.
-
-The plain text document will contain mark-ups that are to frilled by
-the user for the program to identify different elements of the
-document. For instance, a <h2> heading should be surrounded by the
-'==', as it is evident, the number of equals sign (=) is equal to the
-heading number, a <h4> heading should be surrounded '===='.
-
-
- An illustration.
-
- a marked-up plain text document.
-
-
-== heading two ==
-
-this is paragraph *one*.
-
-this is paragraph _three_.
-
-Do you know how to /count/ ?.
-
- the html-converted plain text document.
-
-<html>
-<body>
- <p>this is paragraph <b>one</b>. </p>
-
- <p>this is paragraph <u>three</u> </p>
-
- <p>Do you know how to <i>count</i>
-
-</body>
-</html>
-
-
-<!-- As it is evident from the above html snippet that the paragraphs
-are surrounded by the <p> tag, words surrounded by a '*' is made bold,
-words surrounded by the '_' is underlined, words surrounded by '/' is
-italized. The role of our conversion program will be to identify these
-mark-ups ind the plain text document and according produce to needed
-html tag for that mark up. -->
-
- Why.
-
-So why should we write a html conversion program from the scratch when
-we have awesome suites like WordPress and the like. Why re-invent the
-wheel ?.
-
-Here are few reasons by we desire to write from scratch :
-
- * If we have to adapt or modify an already existing converter, we
- need to bunch of source files before we can even start thinking
- about how to adapt it. It takes a lot of time to adapt
- specifically to our needs.
-
- * This project aims to project a very very simple, clean and
- small blogging program which can cater to the user without
- the need MySQL, PHP or other complex programs.
-
- * We didn't start this project without a purpose, siddharth
- wishes to exploit the html converter to host his verbal rambles
- on his web site.
-
- How.
-
-How are we going to crunch this project ?. What follows gives some
-details about the project.
-
- Platform
-
-The program will be compatible on GNU/Linux machines. We don't have
-plans to have support for Windows/ Mac OSX machines.
-
- Programming Language.
-
-The suite will be written in the (filthy) Java programming
-language. OpenJDK 6.0 will be used for compiling the programs.
-
- Cascading Style Sheets.
-
-The project will also write simple and clean stylesheets for properly
-formatting and frilling the html documents that are produced by the
-programs.
- Documentation.
-
-A minimalistic documentation to learn the mark-ups will be made
-available for the user to start writing marked-up plain text documents
-ready for html conversion.
-
- Who
-
- Who is behind this project anyway ?.
-
-
- * Sury Narayanan : He will responsible for writing
- stylesheet to decorate the html docs.
-
- * Saravana Bharathy : He will writing the documentation for
- the mark-ups for the plain text document.
-
- * Siddharth : He will be writing code for the project and he
- will be the first user of the html converter.
-
-
- Licensing.
-
-All programs written under the project scruf will be licensed under
